Featuring an original poem set into a charming linocut illustration, this print describes a walk around the man-made waters of Tarn Hows, catching its level path, grazing Belted Galloways, and the distant Langdale Pikes. It is a perfect piece for the wall of anyone who has enjoyed that easy stroll and never wanted to leave.

Tarn Hows

It looks as though it's always been:
The tarn, the trees, the islands' pine;
But hands once dammed three pools of green
And made one water, calm and fine.

The path goes round it, level, slow,
An hour for anyone to walk;
The Belted Galloways below
Look up, uncaring, at our talk.

And past the water, far away,
The Langdale Pikes stand, blue and small,
And we, who'd meant to only stay
An hour, don't want to leave at all.

The print. A4 (21 x 29.7cm) or A3 (29.7 x 42cm). Framed in a solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, with shatterproof acrylic glazing and hanging fixtures fitted, or unframed on 200gsm fine-art paper, sent flat and ready for a frame of your own. Printed to order.

Sizes

A4 — 21 × 29.7 cm

A3 — 29.7 × 42 cm

Each size is the printed sheet itself. Framed, the 20 mm moulding sits outside it and there is no mount, so the whole sheet is on show. Unframed, it is sent flat, ready for a frame of your own.

Paper, frame and glazing

Printed on 200 gsm enhanced matte fine-art paper — no gloss and no glare, so the words read cleanly from across a room.

Framed in a 20 mm wide solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, glazed with shatterproof acrylic rather than glass, with a backing board and hanging fixtures already fitted.

Unframed prints are the same paper and the same print, sent flat.
